Informatics 282: Design and Prototyping integrates principles of design process with an introduction to time-based media. Students are exposed to the characteristics of new design opportunities made feasible by digital technologies, and to the pivotal role of time and attention in contemporary design. Through the analysis of a wide range of examples in communication, interaction, and experience design, and through studio-based assignments that provide opportunities for practical application and insight, students are familiarized with basic concepts, methods, standards, tools, and techniques used in the assessment, definition, and design of interactive experiences.
Informatics 282: Design and Prototyping is a course in the Master of Human Computer Interaction and Design program at the University of California, Irvine.
